  1. Or maybe I'm just honest? Your tale has more holes than a colander First it was your wage, now its turnover for two men. First you needed a good accountant to hang on to most of your "£90K Wage" then it was 70% cash I still make a decent living, I made more in the past, but I never took home £90K.
  2. Saying its easy, doing on the other hand....................... Making good money in this game used to be pretty easy, 10 or so years ago, but these days everyones a tree surgeon and chippers are cheap.
  3. Was that your wage or turnover? before or after VAT?
  4. It could be a low oil pressure cut off, when the oil gets really hot and thin it will trip.
  5. If only this were true. We have the luxury of being able to kid ourselves that this is true and will die before we are proved wrong, but what about our children and grandchildren? I guess you care not that there is no part of our seas that don't contain plastic and we are now eating plastic in our food? What about air pollution? I used to think very must like you, but really you must have to put so effort into ignoring what all around you these days.
  6. Not life changing! It would certainly change my life!!
  7. Laneshawbridge, 2 miles from Colne, not far from Haworth, 10 miles from Skipton
  8. Good to read you Paul! That looks like its not far from my neck of the woods, where bouts is it? You should have given me a shout, would have been good to catch up Wishing you every success in your new adventure
  9. Alarm goes off at 6, my good lady goes and makes coffee and cheesy scrambled eggs and tinned plum tomorrows (some times porridge) Sit in bed eating and watching the news on tv until it gets light out, then head into the yard. Generally arrive on site by 9, often pick up another coffee on route. If I'm climbing I generally stay up the tree till lunch, usually around 12. Lunch is a salad with meat of some sort. Most days head home 4.30 to 5 or when dark, whichever comes first. Home made meal is waiting for me most days, today it's a roast chicken dinner.
  10. Are large parts of the USA not also like this?
  11. Or maybe people looking for an excuse to riot and steal stuff
  12. So thats only anti Brexit rags on his trains now, how very convenient
  13. No it was not a gift, it was a test, they were supposed to not eat on pain of death and remain ignorant of the difference between right and wrong. The devil told them it would open their eyes, so they ate. Yet some how Satan is the bad guy not god But that's only if you believe the book
  14. Explain that again skyhuck ( dumb it down even more) learn something new every day Virtually all axles have a diff, the diff allows each wheel to turn at a different speed, which makes going round corners much easier, as the outside wheel effectively overtakes the inside wheel, so needs to turn faster. This also means the diff only drives the wheel which requires least force to turn. You can see this when you jack up one side of a car and engage drive, only the wheel off the ground spins. So 2 wheel drive cars are only really 1 wheel drive, but the wheel that drive swaps from side to side. With permanent 4x4 they simply add another diff between the 2 axles, so now which ever of the 4 wheels that requires the least force is driven. Generally you can lock the centre diff, this then means 1 wheel on the front axle will drive and 1 on the rear axle. To get genuine 4x4 you need diff locks on all the diffs.
  15. How can "he" accept it, he does not exist, he is just a construct of the brain. So is it the brain that will be annoyed. Or have I got it wrong?
  16. Basically instead of an unseen god pulling the strings, there is this brain over which you have no control. It can be a way of shedding personal responsibility. IMO. As for "all" mainstream physicists starting to believe in creation, I simply don't believe that. Do you have any evidence for this remarkable claim?
  17. I quick search on the net soon shows that a great many people have experience negatives from practicing "Mindfulness". I guess if you have a problem that its helping then its like taking drugs that may have side affects and is worth the risk, but if your happy and healthy is it worth the risk?
